Well my mother always has told me that i needed to drink coffee in the morning because i also do this! But i am kinda a health nut so i do things a little diff! And always wake up like i have a purpose!

1. Stand up! (always the worst part of this!)
2. Dont kill the alarm clock(or anything else on the way to the bathroom)
3. Pee but since you r so tired try to not hit the bowl! (this can be hard to do as well!)
4. Go to kitchen and get about 12 pieces of ice and fill a large metal bowl with water.
5. Put youre face in and cuss under water about how much you dont want to go to work.
6. Slam a red-bull

How's your diet? Deficiencies in some vitamins/nutrients can lead to a decrease in energy. Try taking a multi-vitamin for a week or two and see what happens. Also, I find that I generally feel better in the morning when I'm exercising regularly. Not saying that you aren't active, just speaking from my own experience.

There's also the possibility that you aren't getting restful sleep, despite how many hours you're in bed. This could have something to do with your mattress. At the very worst, you could have some type of sleep disorder, but from what I know most sleep problems are able to be treated very effectively.

Try to pay attention to your diet and exercise patterns, and if you don't get results, see a specialist. The multi-vitamin tip has worked wonders for my morning efficiency, though. Good luck.

Yeah thats a good point! I always grab a good protien shake to drink as well! Dont eat a huge breakfest if you do breakfeast then make it small and healthy! And yeah make sure you are exercising some how.

For me it comes down to a few things, go to sleep tired and wake up. When your alarm goes off, get your can outta bed. Laying there only makes it worse.

Now, my personal secret is to make sure you climb a flight of stairs, so I leave all my clothes in the laundry room in the basement. I go downstairs, get dressed, come back up the stairs and already feel better.

Then pee, brush your teeth, and get in the car. Leave the windows open and make sure you have at least a small breakfast.

Something that wasn't mentioned is trying to set a schedule for yourself. Try going to bed at the same time every night, and waking up at the same time every morning. After about a week, you'll feel much more rested throughout the day. Most people never find this out because they wake up at the same time every morning Monday through Friday, and then change it up for Saturday and Sunday. You have to continue to wake up early on the weekends.

However, that last one is a pain in the ass. I don't actually do it, I'm just a hypocrite.

10-11 hours could possibly be too much sleep. I find that if I sleep more than 8-9 hours per night, I feel more tired in the morning.

Too much sleep is bad, not enough sleep is bad. Also are you sleeping "well?" Ask Lindsay Wagner, you need a good, recouperative sleep. Seriously, I have back problems and even if I manage to "sleep" the entire night on an unfamiliar mattress my body is fighting the mattress while I sleep, and I get up sore and tired.
